We vented most of the Canada-specific art from the Mistigris back stacks this time last year, with our parade of all the awesome Mist entries in the Canada-themed (and midget-wrestling-themed) Blender #39 art competition from back in 1997.
This year we found that we had a previously unreleased arrangement of the national anthem gathering dust, “O Canada” put together in Scream Tracker by Onyx of Mist and Sonic Equinox, also from way back in 1997. But because free video sharing arrangements are less suspect than audio sharing ones in 2016, we decided to throw together some quick visuals to accompany the audio.
The ANSI art maple leaf is by Quip, and you may recall it from last year’s roundup; we have lent it some ongoing visual appeal by colour-cycling it with the legendary GLOW3.EXE utility – credited to members of ACiD and iCE, but not conclusively belonging to either. Finally, there is a grand finale poached from a 1995 intro by Melkor.
Now the well is good and truly dry, so I have no idea what we’ll do for Canada Day 2017. Maybe… create new art? (shocked gasp) In the meantime, we’ll continue celebrating nostalgic outmoded notions like MS-DOS, modems and nation-states.
